【解析】

试题分析：本文属于情景交际，话题关于庄稼。

1.have come考察It is the first time that 句型和现在完成时。It is the first time that 句型常接现在完成时，故用have come。另外，come 为不规则变化动词，come-came-come。

2.crops考察主谓一致。crop为可数名词，由于谓语部分为are，所以用复数。

3.born 考察短语be born 以及bear不规则变化。句中为be born in 固定短语，bear-bore-born

4.If 考察省略句if so。本句为省略句if so结构，常见的if省略句，if not（如果不是这样的话），if possible（如果可能的话），if necessary（如果必要的话）。

5.the 考察固定短语the other day。由于本句谓语动词为saw，因此需用固定短语the other day（日前，那一天）。

6.to do考察非谓语动词。本句to do 做后置定语修饰several things，所以用主动。

7.putting 考察非谓语动词。本题由and连接，所以与turning，watering形式相同，故用putting。

8.However 考察句子之间的逻辑关系以及基本的过渡衔接。本句与前一句属于转折关系，由于句首，首字母需大写。

9.that 考察指示代词that。由于指代之前出现过的soil，由于soil不可数名词，故用that。

10. 考察固定短语。你们有项目来自己经营自己的农场没有？ 此处为固定短语 in one’s way.
